“I have campaigned alongside my Lib Dem colleagues on B&NES Council to see 20mph speed limits on residential roads in Bath. The dangers of speeding are all to clear, and it is vital that both pedestrians and drivers feel safe on the roads.”

“Having been amazed by the amount the Students could put into the Bath economy I feel strongly decent housing should be a priority for them, There are 20,000 +. That is quite a large chunk of the population and they should have a say!!”

“Purpose built student accommodation should be allowed to count towards targets. If we build more purpose built accommodation it frees up family houses in our city, often in the most affordable areas.”

“I believe an Education programme would help, Bottles should have a deposit (it is daft to drive to the bottle bank, smash them up, collect them in a huge lorry and remake them into . . . . bottles!!!!!, We can learn a lot from our forebears.”

“We can provide a world class enviro friendly integrated transport system if we chose which would dramatically enhance the city centre life. A strqategic review is needed not continuous introduction of petty rules to fiddle with the problem”

“I beleive in this passionately. The cost is amazing. Let us look at some of the imaginative transport systems in Europe part funded by england . . .sorry The EU. Modern, Enviro friendly and intereesting”

“The Labour Govt introduced a "supertax" in the 60's. These people just left. Now look at the long term result. We need to get out of Europe saving 200 billion a year. Taxing people who have clever means to find a way round it is a vote grabber only”

“Our tax proposals include the biggest tax switch in generations, a radical overhaul to make sure those at the top pay their fair share in order to put money back in the pockets of people who need it.”

“The British Govt can and does nothing as all these ridiculuous laws come from Europe (75-92% of all the laws) It begs the question what do the MP's do all day apart from drink free beer and fill out the expense forms!!”

“The Govt should listen to a panel of Experts without vested interest to firstly ascertain if the case is proven and can be tackled. The planet has always had climate change. The case is still not proven and we need unbiased scientific total agreement”

“We are building an unsustainable economy. Our European "Partners" manage to manufacture with sophisticated Govt support. We need a balanced independant economy. We are in grave danger of becoming an Economic backwater”

“Public Expenditure is inefficient and needs to be made much more efficient. An immediate axe is neither desirable or practical. We need a phased approach whilst real jobs are created by British companies”

“We are a welfare state and this is deep in our psyche. A balanced approach is required. People should be educated from an early age to save for retirement in order to expect a decent retirement. A pension less than in Poland is a national disgrace”

“Britain’s pensions system is one of the most complex in the developed world. It provides neither a decent safety net, nor incentives to save. We will restore the link between pensions and earnings so pensioners' living standards finally improve.”

“We cannot feed ourselves heat our home we cannot provide or build towards a sustainable economy. The resentment caused is unacceptable. Immigration is distinct from Refugee status where GB has a long and proud tradition”

“While immigration has been too high in some parts of the country, other areas want more people to help their economy grow. We would vary the points-based system to allow migrants to gain extra points for moving to areas that want more people.”

“The expenses scandal has undermined public confidence in politicians. That is why the Lib Dems would introduce a 'recall' system in which constituents could force a by-election for any MP found guilty of wrongdoing.”

“The arts play a vital role in society, they can drive regeneration and can be crucial in helping with education. We want to move away from restrictive and bureaucratic targets for the arts and focus on celebrating our cultural wealth.”

“We cannot afford it. We were told BY THE TORIES it was a common market . . . .It is not irt is a federal superstate along the lines of the USSR The national debt could be paid off overnight. We cannot afford to support the other European States”

“Lib Dems believe that there should be an in/out referendum the next time a British Government signs up for fundamental change in the relationship between the EU and UK. We will campaign strongly for Britain to stay in the EU.”

“We must remain neutral and listen to the arguments. We no longer enjoy good relations with many Arab states and do not understand them due to perceived interference We must take more note of local opinion”

“We oppose military action against Iran as it would only make a volatile situation worse, strengthening the hand of extremists against moderates. Instead, the international community must continue to use diplomacy and engage in constructive discussion”

“We are there We have to finish the job we started. We must give them the support this Govt has failed to do Our troops equipment is outmoded outdated and better is available A hearts and minds campaign must be initiated”
